Devotions:Eric Liddell - Always Love

Share Eric's love for children with your Sunday School, Devotions and Bible Study group.

Eric was imprisoned during the war and so were the children who were in China from other countries.
People were so crowded in the prisoner of war camps that a man only had enough space to lie down on the floor to sleep.
There was no heating or comforts to keep warm and very little food.

The children had to live with their teachers from school.

One of the boys David Mitchell who told this story said that Eric was very kind and used to make everyone feel better with his good humour and fun.

He taught the children and they had games and sports times.

Once the boys were in trouble for climbing trees.

The prison guards told Eric to punish them and they were very relieved.

Eric always showed love no matter what happened.
